Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a "tummy tuck," is a comprehensive surgical procedure addressing three critical aspects of the abdomen: skin, subcutaneous fat, and abdominal wall muscles. This transformative body contouring technique is ideal for individuals struggling with excess abdominal skin or weakened muscle structure that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise.

Who Benefits Most from Tummy Tuck?

• Women with abdominal muscle and skin stretching from multiple pregnancies
• Individuals experiencing reduced skin elasticity
• Patients with persistent fat deposits resistant to traditional weight loss methods

Surgical Preparation and Considerations

Successful abdominoplasty requires thorough preparation and realistic expectations. Patients are advised to:

• Establish a stable weight through diet and exercise before surgery
• Avoid future pregnancy plans during surgical consultation
• Discuss complete medical history with Dr. Baroody

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies by individual but generally involves a gradual return to normal activities. Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort, managed through prescribed medication and optional pain management techniques.

Potential Procedure Variations

• Standard Abdominoplasty
• Mini-Abdominoplasty
• Abdominoplasty with Liposuction

Scar Management and Long-Term Results

While surgical scars are permanent, they typically fade and become less prominent over nine to twelve months. Most patients find the scars are easily concealed by clothing and bathing suits.

Stretch Mark Considerations

During a standard abdominoplasty, stretch marks located between the belly button and pubic hairline can be removed. Stretch marks above the belly button may be relocated but not entirely eliminated.
